Waggin’ Tales Newsletter Winter/Spring 2022
Mazikeen
Mazi was with Lars for one week short of a year. We pulled her from the shelter in April of 2020 as a frantic and scared dog and placed her in foster care with Lars at Gossel’s Dog House. Mazi is now a member of Angie’s family and is content and loved in her forever home with human, canine, and feline friends.
“It took a little for her to become a dog again. After that the humans needed to understand her history. I can’t begin to describe how I feel and how thankful I am to this family for giving her a chance!” Lars commented after Mazi’s adoption.
Mazikeen was the fifth dog that Lars helped us with by providing foster care and training. We so appreciate his commitment to helping scared or out-of-control dogs find their “best self” by gaining the trust, self-confidence, and manners they so need.
